No
cause for alarm
On Wednesday, March 1, a malfunctioning fire alarm system in the new Student Centre caused some concern, but according to Aidan Kiernan, associate director of Facilities Management, everything is working fine now.
A contractor working on the sprinkler system inadvertently set off the fire alarm. Occupants of the building noticed that the horn which provide audio notice of a fire did not go off. Facilities Management employees investigated, and quickly discovered some loose wires.
During another false alarm caused by a surge in the city water system later that same day, all components of the fire alarm system worked as they should, noted Mr. Keirnan.
Student

Staff of the office hope to be up and running by Monday, March 13.
